DST Patch for Solaris 10

Hi all,

Sun is recommending two patches to deal with Daylight Savings Changes
next year. One patch is for POSIX timezones and the other for Zoneinfo
Timezones ie;

Patch 119689-07 incorporates the fix for "U.S. Energy Policy Act of
2005" for POSIX timezones, whereas Patch 122032-01 incorporates the fix
for "U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005" for zoneinfo timezones.

We use TIMEZONE=UTC and TIMEZONE=America/Cayman which I believe are
zoneinfo timezones. Can someone confirm this or give an example of a
POSIX timezone.

Reason I don't want to load both is because I have production systems
out there that have the patch for zoneinfo timezones and not the POSIX
patch and if I don't use POSIX timezones why take the downtime to load
it?

Thanks for any help.
